compile with python 3.13t (nogil)

[subaochen]

I have installed free-threading python 3.13 following https://py-free-threading.github.io/installing_cpython/ on ubuntu 22.04(with gcc 11.04.0), with command:

conda create -n nogil --override-channels -c conda-forge python-freethreading

But compile python 3.13t with boost-1.86.0 failed, below the steps:

1, configure boost successfully:
./bootstrap.sh --with-python=/home/mydesktop/anaconda3/envs/nogil

2, compile boost failed:
./b2 --toolset=gcc --with-python include="/home/mydesktop/anaconda3/envs/nogil/include/python3.13t/" --with-thread --with-date_time --with-chrono --with-system
3, error message:

Obviously I missed "pyconfig.h", but i successfully compiled boost 1.86 with python 3.11 with the same step. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

@grafikrobot , do you know what's wrong here ? My b2 knowledge is next to non-existent.

@stefanseefeld hmm.. something strange is going on with the include paths for python:

-I"/home/subaochen/anaconda3/envs/nogil/include/python3.13"
-I"/home/subaochen/anaconda3/envs/nogil/include/python3.1t"

It would help if we got the output of running the build with the --debug-configuration option.
